renderings

Hello, severe newb here!
I've seen alot of renderings and 3D designs of arcade cabinets and I was wondering what kind of software to use. I'm designing my own custom racing cabinet (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=74890.0) and I want to get some to-scale measurements before I start cutting. What should I use?
JimmyU:
Google Sketchup is free. I've used a little bit and it's pretty good.
kevilution:
Thanks! For what I'm doing this will work great, plus you can't beat free!
XyloSesame:
Don't forget about the Sketchup wiki.
Search Google's 3D Warehouse for "arcade" or similar keywords (mine are here), or check out some of the Sketchup threads around the forum (Artifact, for example).
No need for you to reinvent the wheel...

I personally use Anim8or for my 3D work (also free):
